“Jill and Barbara have really build an international reputation for the Santa Fe Weaving Gallery,” Nye said in a statement. “We are going to work diligently to maintain this reputation and our relationships with our clients and our artisans in order to continue providing these artistic creations from around the world.”

Nye and Holliday recently moved to New Mexico from Seattle.

“Santa Fe Weaving Gallery is an institution, a destination, and is currently the only shop of its kind in the U.S.,” said Heppenheimer. “With these new owners, and a new manager, the gallery has this great new energy to take it to its next level.”
